Yes, the moon landings were an amazing thing. I think if I could pick an alternate place/time to be alive (and it'd have to be compelling to forego all the shiny tech of today) - I'd be camped with the other onlookers at the launch site in a VW hippy van.

My Morris dates from the time of Apollo 11. Cars hadn't even begun to DREAM of ABS, and people managed to get to the moon.

Bravo, BTW, for the post-per-day thing. They're all good reads, even if I've not got around to commenting until now.
